Union Minister Smriti Irani is poised to file her nomination papers today as the BJP candidate for the general elections from Uttar Pradesh’s Amethi constituency.
Awaiting Congress Candidate Announcement
While Smriti Irani gears up for the nomination, the Congress party has yet to announce its candidate for the prestigious Amethi constituency. Party president Mallikarjun Kharge has indicated that the names of candidates for both Amethi and Rae Bareli seats in Uttar Pradesh will be disclosed in the coming days.
Political Figures to Attend Nomination
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav is expected to accompany Irani during her nomination filing process. Sources suggest that Yadav will participate in a roadshow in support of Irani’s candidacy.
Spiritual Preparations Ahead of Nomination
Irani’s journey to Amethi comes after a visit to Ayodhya, where she sought blessings from Ramlala. In her interactions with the media, she emphasized her prayers for the nation’s progress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s well-being, and the prosperity of Amethi’s residents.
Irani’s Electoral History
Having previously clinched victory against former Congress president Rahul Gandhi in the 2019 polls, Irani is set to defend her position in this crucial electoral battle. Despite the BJP’s declaration of her candidacy, the Congress is yet to put forth its contender for Amethi. With the election slated for the fifth phase on May 20th, the anticipation builds as the political landscape of Amethi unfolds.
